Cottage holiday rentals in Europe

“Caitriona’s BnB is an absolute gem! Nestled on a beautiful private farm with a peaceful babbling brook, it’s the perfect retreat. The pizza oven was a fun touch, and the hot tub was always warm and ready to enjoy. It’s an ideal spot to unwind with a good book, surrounded by nature. Caitriona provided fantastic hiking and sightseeing recommendations that made our stay even more memorable. We truly didn’t want to leave—already looking forward to coming back!”

Rosie is a friendly and welcoming host. A beautiful cottage and location, great for our family of five. The hot tub was a welcome treat after a walk up Snowdon. Would definitely recommend staying here and will hopefully come back to stay here in the future.

A great place to stay for an escape from the city. Beautiful surroundings, peaceful and the wood fired hot tub is a great bonus. Very clean bathrooms, a good, functional kitchen and one of the comfiest beds I’ve slept in made for a fantastic stay. Rhys was very responsive and helpful, a real gem in the countryside.

A beautiful, spacious cottage in a stunning location. There are plenty of incredible hikes nearby & coming back to soak in the hot tub with lovely views was wonderful.

We had a wonderful stay at The Old Potting Shed, it has a lovely homely feel & the area is very peaceful. The hosts James & Rachel were very kind, very accommodating & brilliant with communication, nothing was a problem. The accommodation is just beautiful, the attention to detail is fantastic & everywhere is amazingly clean. The open plan living area is so beautiful, especially when the morning light shines in through the bi-fold doors. The hot tub was definitely a highlight for us to relax in, enjoy the birdsong & watch the sunset in an evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!

My family & I have just had a lovely few days staying at this property. The cottage & grounds are beautiful with lots of flora & fauna - generous lawn to the front, lake & terrace to the rear & side, flower-filled borders throughout, all surrounded by fields, woodland & birdsong. We enjoyed using the hot tub overlooking the lake, a really special setting. It’s all very private & tranquil. The cottage itself is spacious & cosy, with thoughtful touches throughout (comfy beds, robes, well-stocked log burners), plenty of room for our family of four, plus dog (bonus - pet friendly!) & a lovely lounge to relax in after biking & walking all day. The kitchen was well-equipped, though we didn’t do any cooking. The location is great too – secluded but close enough to nearby villages. We’d definitely recommend having a car. Hosts were nice & friendly, easy to communicate with & quick to respond when contacted. All in all, a wonderful stay & we’d highly recommend to others. Thank you!

had an amazing stay. Cottage was very clean and couldn’t fault it. Hot tub was a great extra. Would 100% recommend any of johns cottages

Had a really relaxing and enjoyable stay. Thank you so much Nick and Vicky

An amazing place to stay convent for Temby and Saundersfoot which was what we wanted. A massive bonus was just how well equipped and beautifully presented it was ideal to sit and chill and read after a day at the beach. Was so nice to feel so welcome to the property

The cottage is simply gorgeous. It is cozy, stylish and most importantly spotless clean! The village is cute too, beautiful path to walk the dog, mine engine stacks add charm to the location and the cottage is on the hill so the view from the windows is beautiful. We loved that Catherine left necessities for breakfast in the fridge , it was very thoughtful and kind of her. Thank you for everything, we had a great stay

Had a great stay, lovely area, accommodation was perfect for us, would consider it again when visiting our favourite part of the world. Plus perfect host.

A beautiful cottage in the perfect location. 20-30 mins from every major place you could want to go. Cosy and homely with a lovely sunny garden. Private and secure, a real Norfolk countryside stay! We loved our stay, everything we needed was provided and Scott gave us all the information we needed to allow easy check in. We can’t wait to come back again, hopefully for longer next time. Thanks so much!

We had a wonderful time! The cottage was lovely and cosy and as described. It had everything we needed so we could cook our meals and included all the bedding as well. There was a lovely little outside space too which would have been wonderful in warm weather. Unfortunately when we stayed we were unable to use the fire due to crows nesting which was a shame, especially as it was very cold and windy for us, so it might be worth checking for anyone else if this is one of the main features that appealed like it did for ourselves. There was no local shops but Tenby was a short drive away with plenty of places to visit and lots of beaches nearby so the location was great. There is a local pub but only open Friday and Saturday evening. Sleeping arrangement was great as well but there is no door between the snug and the lounge so be aware if you have anyone sleeping on the sofa bed like we did. Overall a beautiful cottage in a great place, we’ll definitely be back.

This is a beautiful cottage with everything you need for a relaxing stay. It’s in a great location to explore Northumberland but very quiet & private. We self catered but there were plenty of places to eat out in walking distance if you want. We self catered and every piece of equipment you need is in the kitchen, including an air fryer. Our only disappointment was not getting to use the log burner as it wasn’t cold enough !!

We had the most wonderful stay at Wandy’s place! Wandy’s warmth and friendliness truly made us feel at home, as she personally welcomed us with such kindness. The house is beautifully decorated, with every detail thoughtfully designed, and the garden is an absolute gem – a serene and charming oasis. Everything was spotlessly clean, and all our needs were perfectly met. Wandy’s hospitality made our trip unforgettable, and we can’t wait to return!

Church Cottage is absolutely beautiful both from the outside, with a wonderful, sunny garden, and the inside, which is beautifully furnished and comfortable. There is a huge amount of space with the two sitting rooms, dining room and 4 bedrooms, and the whole place is extremely well equipped. There is even a second fridge, as well as a freezer, washing machine, dryer and microwave. We had a wonderful time sitting in the "snug" in the mornings before moving onto the sunny patio, and getting comfy in front of the fire in the living room in the evenings. It's a short walk to the coastal path and to the seal trips at the quay, and an easy drive to restaurants and pub in Wells or Blakeney. Sadly, the Anchor pub right by the cottage seems to have closed down. The steam train from Holt was also a fun thing to do. We can all thoroughly recommend this beatiful cottage. Louise sent really clear instructions about how to find it and was super helpful in all her communications. A great host!

What an amazing find! As a family of 3 with a 17-month old daughter, we had an amazing stay during our 4-nights Easter getaway. We came up to visit family who have recently moved to Norfolk & this was more than a perfect & relaxing base for us. A beautiful & quiet location as advertised - absolutely amazing setting with extensive grounds to walk & explore. We had everything that we could possibly need in terms of amenities. Our daughter absolutely loved seeing & stroking the dogs. The property was spotless upon arrival & it felt like home as soon as we walked through the door. Great little touches including some milk for a much needed cuppa after a long journey up. We had an amazing takeaway from the Indian restaurant round the corner and the Fish & Chips from neighbouring Blofield, are also a must! A very big thank you to Annette for everything - we will 100% be recommending you to friends/family and we will of course be rebooking for our next visits... thank you for having us!

We stayed at Angélique's for a weekend with friends. The accommodation was exactly what we expected, very spacious and with all the necessities. Its location is ideal, we were able to reach the hiking trails on foot, and go eat broth by taking the car for only a little 10min. We'll be happy to go back.

Amazing cottage in a peaceful and secluded area. The place is well stocked and looked after. A great base to explore the cairngorms and come back to a relaxing hot tub. The trail to the cottage gets a bit tiresome as it’s a slow and rocky 10 min drive but all part of the experience!

Amazing stay. Host was very helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for her. Will definitely return.

Stunning surroundings, lovely comfortable home, really spacious, had absolutely everything you needed, great garden for the dogs and the farm animals were adorable but especially the lambs. Even got the opportunity to feed them which made my holiday. Would highly recommend and will absolutely be staying again. Thank you.

A lovely cottage in a great location, close to lots of places to visit. It is within walking distance of Traquair House, which is definitely worth a visit. Really well equipped and comfy. We enjoyed sitting out in the garden which is a sun trap. Hope to be back in the future.

This place is a delight, I loved everything about it!! Such a beautiful setting & gorgeous decor and touches! The fresh cream sponge cake on arrival was a much appreciated kind treat! Thank you! Donegal is so beautiful, so many stunning places to see, we will definitely be back!

Just spent a very relaxing couple of nights at Helen’s stunning cottage. The cottage itself is beautiful, extremely clean and has everything you could need for your stay. It has plenty of room for a family but there was only two of us so it felt really spacious. The gardens are just absolutely beautiful, lovely views, with lots of nature around, happily sat out to eat meals on patio whilst listening to the birds and watching the horses and helens dogs. We sunbathed on the sun loungers on the grass in the afternoons, which was bliss. there is a lovely large Hot tub which was a lovely added bonus which we relaxed in the evenings with a couple drinks. Helen recommended Lyme Regis for a day which we did, and It did not disappoint we had a lovely day out there. We definitely will be returning to this cottage for future breaks. we will now find it difficult to find another place that will offer the same accommodation and amenities with the gardens and views as here. Thankyou Helen
